Pattern Instructions
Step 1 – Starting the Cozy
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 24 stitches (adjust according to your cup size).
- Make sure the chain is not twisted and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Step 2 – Rounds 1-3
- Round 1-3: Single crochet (sc) all the way around for three rounds.
- At the end of the third round, make a slip stitch.
Step 3 – Adding Pumpkin Color (Rounds 4-6)
- Switch to the pumpkin yarn.
- Pull the pumpkin color through the ivory yarn to start.
- Round 4: Single crochet all the way around.
- Single crochet into the first stitch, then skip the first stitch and continue single crocheting (this hides the color change).
- Round 4-6: Single crochet around for three rounds (continuing in pumpkin color).
- At the end of round six, pull up a loop and cut the ivory yarn.
Step 4 – Adding Mustard Color (Rounds 7-9)
- Switch to the mustard color.
- Pull the mustard yarn through the pumpkin yarn.
- Round 7: Single crochet all the way around.
- Single crochet into the first stitch, skip one stitch, then continue single crocheting.
- Round 7-9: Single crochet around for three rounds (continuing in mustard color).
- At the end of round nine, slip stitch and cut the mustard yarn.
Step 5 – Finishing the Cozy
- Use your needle to tuck the top tail into the stitches to even out the finishing stitches.
- Tuck in all the ends and flip the cozy to see the final result.
Step 6 – Adding the Face
- Safety Eyes:
- Line up the back with the front to position the safety eyes.
- Insert the eyes between the single crochet stitches for a secure fit.
- Before securing, check the position again.
- Smile:
- Use black yarn and a needle.
- Pull the yarn through from the back to the front.
- Create a straight line for the mouth by pulling through the middle of the eyes.
- Go back into the same stitch and pull through to form a smile.
- Secure the back of the safety eyes using wire cutters to trim the prongs if necessary.
Conclusion
The cozy is finished with the face added. You can choose to add more decorative elements or leave it as is. There are also options for other cozies such as pumpkins, ghosts, or Frankenstein.
Additional Notes
- Always check the tightness on the cup for a snug fit.
- You may want to use a place marker to keep track of your rounds.
- Secure all yarn ends properly to avoid unraveling.
I hope you enjoy making this cute Candy Corn Cup Cozy!
